Resident and his rabbit fixtures in North Fort Myers

September 15, 2009

He's a fixture in North Fort Myers - people beep when he passes in his scooter, wave hello and stop him on the streets. But many stop to say hello specifically to his companion - a pet rabbit.

Local resident Coleman Rogers is known for always having a pet rabbit at his side. Now, it is new bunny Biscuit who rides with him on his scooter everywhere he goes.

Rogers has had rabbits as pets for the last 17 years, to the delight of everyone he encounters, young and old. He works with a local produce company at the Shell Factory every Tuesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and said many come by just to say hello to his companion.
